Hidden in Plain Sight... Nazi Engineers, Secret U.S. Military Bases, Elevators To The Subterranean and Submarine Depths (Part 1)

In the preliminary stages of my research in the early 1990s, I had no
informed idea of how deep below the surface underground bases could
reach. By chance I had gone to hear a public talk by a man I did not
know, on a topic that had nothing whatsoever to do with underground
bases. ~ Dr. Richard Sauder

(The following is Part 1 of an exclusive underground base series brought to you by The Intel Hub with excerpts from the book Hidden in Plain Sight: Beyond the X-Files, written by acclaimed underground base researcher and author, Dr. Richard Sauder.)

In the preliminary stages of my research in the early 1990s, I had no
informed idea of how deep below the surface underground bases could
reach. By chance I had gone to hear a public talk by a man I did not
know, on a topic that had nothing whatsoever to do with underground
bases.

However, during the talk he unexpectedly made an offhand comment that
caused me to think that he knew something about secret underground
facilities. A few days later, I telephoned him and asked if I could come
by his office to speak with him.

He consented to give me a little of his time, so I went by and asked
him some questions, including about a specific location where I believed
there was a secret underground base. He verified that there was a base
there and told me that it was one mile deep.

At the time, that seemed improbably deep to me. I now understand,
however, that it is well within the state of the art of the underground
excavation and construction industries to build facilities one mile
deep. In fact, facilities can be even deeper than that.

Other information that has since been given to me has raised the
question of facilities possibly as deep as 12 to 14 miles. Frankly, I do
not know what the technological limits are in the super-secret, black
budget realm of compartmentalized programs.

But I can make some fairly well educated deductions based on what I
have been told and information gleaned from the open engineering and
industrial literature.

At a minimum, my investigation suggests that depths up to three miles
are feasible, and that conclusion is based on a careful reading of the
open scientific, mining and civil engineering literature.

At one time I considered greater depths than that as unattainable,
but no longer. While I don't know the limitations of the technology in
the clandestine realm, based on everything I have heard over the years
it must surpass the limits found in the open technical literature.

It could be that with classified improvements in material science and
mining engineering that bases can be sited many miles beneath the
surface of the land or the seafloor. Frankly, I now surmise that we are
dealing with a science-fiction-like reality that has been held back from
public knowledge.

In that regard, it is clear to me that there are power structures on
this planet that closely interface with, and yet remain separate from,
the official power establishment of any nation as publicly presented in
the mainstream news media.

The sum total of all the many years of reading and research I have
done, coupled with the myriad conversations I have had with an extremely
eclectic selection of individuals, even raises the question as to
whether some control structures and agencies for this planet may
possibly extend off-planet.

But even if that is not the case, we are certainly dealing at the
least with trillions of dollars of off-the-books money, very advance
technology, an incredible infrastructure of secrecy, thousands and
thousands of people who are in the know but say little or nothing about
what they know, all of which revolves around projects of tremendous
scope and complexity, carried out over a long period of time, and about
which there is almost zero public knowledge.

Alex Thomas: "The trillions of dollars
off the books, advanced technology, and the infrastructure of secrecy
have all been brought about by numerous globalist organizations such as
the CFR, the Trilateral Commission, and the Bilderberg Group as well as
many other even more secretive groups that are not even known by name.
Those involved with underground bases may literally know that they will
be immediately killed if they speak out about what they know." - End

I don't know how many secret underground bases there are, but they surely do exist, there is no question of that.

In 1987, Lloyd A. Duscha, the then-Deputy Director of Engineering and
Construction for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, gave a talk at an
engineering conference entitled "Underground Facilities for Defense -
Experience and Lessons." In the first paragraph of his talk he stated
that:

After World War II, political and economic factors
changed the underground construction picture and caused a renewed
interest to "think underground." As a result of this interest, the Corps
of Engineers became involved in the design and construction of some
very complex and interesting military projects. [1]

A little further on he said:

Although the conference program indicates the topic to be
"Underground Facilities for Defense - Experience and Lessons," I must
deviate a little because several of the most interesting facilities
that have been designed and constructed by the Corps are classified. [2]

Subsequently Mr. Duscha went into a discussion of the Corps'
involvement in the 1960s in the construction of the large and elaborate
NORAD base buried deep beneath Cheyenne Mountain, in Colorado. And then
he said:

As stated earlier, there are other projects of similar
scope, which I cannot identify, but which included multiple chambers up
to 50 feet wide and 100 feet high using the same excavation
procedures mentioned for the NORAD facility. [3]

You will not find a franker public admission of the existence of secret, underground bases than that.

It carries all the more weight coming from Lloyd Duscha, given his high position in the military-industrial complex.

Shepard: "I myself have conducted an interview
with the owner of a major private underground base & shelter
construction firm. What he told Bob Tuskin and myself off air during a
commercial break was absolutely mind-blowing.

He literally admitted that most of his clientele is Illuminati
affiliated, including politicians, movie stars, and more. He maintained
that client confidentiality was a factor, claiming that half of the
business is reinforced homes. Leaving the other 50% up to speculation.

The company has even built 3 massive arks for a doomsday scenario just like you see in the movie 2012. This was covered by CNN." - End

The Project Paperclip, Nazi Connection

It is not accidental that Lloyd Duscha mentioned the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers' increased interest in underground bases and construction
in the post-World War II period.

In the closing stages of WW II, the U.S. military overran the Third
Reich and confiscated a treasure trove of Nazi technology, engineering
facilities and research laboratories.

The American military also apprehended and detained large numbers of
Nazi scientists, engineers and technicians, many of whom were brought to
the United States under the auspices of the infamous "Project
Paperclip" and integrated into American industry, research institutes
and into the military and other official agencies.

The
cases of such Project Paperclip notables as Wernher von Braun, and
other "ex"-Nazis who were put to work building rockets and missiles for
the military and NASA, are well known.

The American political and military establishments were very
impressed with Nazi V-2 and buzz bomb missile technology, and brought
Von Braun and his team to the USA at war's end to continue and advance
the research and design they had done under Hitler's Third Reich.

The development of the manned space program, satellite technology,
deep space probes, intercontinental nuclear missiles and cruise missiles
are all fruits of their work.

But Project Paperclip had another aspect which has received almost no publicity. And that aspect had to do with the underground facilities
that the American military discovered when they entered the remnants of
the Third Reich in the concluding stages of open military hostilities
between the Allied and Axis powers in the European theater.

I have two declassified Project Paperclip memoranda in my files that
specifically request four men with expertise in underground
construction, one of whom is Xaver Dorsch.

The other men are not known to me, but Xaver Dorsch is. He was the
director of the so-called Todt Organization in the closing phase of WW
II.

The Todt Organization was originally headed by Fritz Todt, whence the
name. Fritz Todt was the designer and creator of the well-known German
autobahn system of highways.

The Todt organization served a somewhat analogous function in the
Third Reich to that of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers or the U.S. Navy
Seabees in the present American military system.

In other words, it was a civil engineering agency that supported the
operations of the German military, though, unlike the case of the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers or the U.S. Navy Seabees in the American system,
the Todt Organization was not a formal part of the German military
structure.

However, it did play a crucial role in the Nazi war effort and
constructed many facilities for use by the German military and industry.
Some of the underground structures that it built were impressively
large and sophisticated.

In 1942 Fritz Todt was killed in an airplane crash and by war's end
control of the agency had effectively passed to Xaver Dorsch. In the
closing stages of the war, Hitler specifically tasked Dorsch with
developing a series of huge, underground, industrial manufacturing
facilities.

Allied bombing raids were shredding German manufacturing and the Nazi
command wanted to shift production underground, out of reach of
American and British bombs. The collapse of the Third Reich ultimately
put an end to those plans.

I remain persuaded, however, that a great deal of what the Allies
found when they went into Germany remains classified to the present day,
and that includes the full extent of the underground facilities built
by the Todt Organization.

Xaver Dorsch was taken prisoner by the American military on 7 May
1945. I have two moderately lengthy documents that he wrote for the
Americans, evidently as part of his debriefing by them.4 One was
produced in 1946, the other in 1949-1950.

The documents deal with the administrative structure and operational
activities of the Todt Organization during the war. I strongly suspect
that Dorsch supplied a great deal more information to his American
captors during that period that has yet publicly to see the light of
day.

Xaver Dorsch may even have worked directly for the American military
on the construction of secret, underground bases in the USA, just as he
had done for the Nazis during the Third Reich.

It is a fact that he was in American military captivity and was requested specifically by Project Paperclip.

During the course of my research I spoke with an expert who is
personally familiar with some of the Nazi underground constructions in
Europe and his observation to me was that they were very well made
facilities.

One of the best accounts of such facilities that I have found in the
open literature is the anecdotal history related by Colonel Robert S.
Allen that details what General Patton's army discovered when it entered
Germany in the closing stage of World War II.

Col. Allen revealed that Patton's forces found four large underground
bases in the vicinity of the grim Nazi concentration camp near Ohrdruf,
Germany; other underground facilities were reported in nearby towns.
Col. Allen provided the following description:

The underground installations were amazing. They were
literally subterranean towns. There were four in and around Ohrdruf….
None were natural caverns or mines. All were man-made military
installations. The horror camp had provided the labor. An interesting
feature of the construction was the absence of any spoil. It had been
carefully scattered in hills miles away.

Over 50 feet underground, the installations consisted of two and
three stories, several miles in length and extending like the spokes of a
wheel. The entire hull structure was of massive, reinforced concrete.
Purpose of the installations was to house the High Command after it was
bombed out of Berlin. The Ohrdruf installations were to have been used
by the Signal Communications Section.

One, near the horror camp, was a huge telephone exchange equipped
with the latest and finest apparatus. Signal Corps experts estimated
their cost at $10,000,000.

This place also had paneled and carpeted offices, scores of large
work and store rooms, tiled bathrooms with both tubs and showers, flush
toilets, electrically equipped kitchens, decorated dining rooms and mess
halls, giant refrigerators, extensive sleeping quarters, recreation
rooms, separate bars for officers and enlisted personnel, a
moving-picture theater, and air-conditioning and sewage systems. Begun
in 1944, the installations had been completed but never occupied. [5]

The Regenwurmlager in Poland

Another spectacular example of Nazi underground engineering prowess was the subterranean Regenwurmlager
complex that still sprawls for many miles deep beneath the countryside
of western Poland. Several years ago Paul Stonehill wrote an eye-opening
article about this site, replete with color photos, in FATE magazine.
[6]

The Regenwurmlager was an obvious Nazi analog on the eastern German
border region to the well-known Maginot Line that the French had built
in their eastern border region, in that it also, like the Maginot Line,
was comprised of many miles of underground tunnels and electric train
lines connecting bunkers, fortifications and other critical military
facilities.

Amazingly, the full extent of the huge complex is not known, even
today. It is not known if either the Poles or the Russians have ever
fully explored the many miles of tunnels and underground emplacements.

According to Stonehill, the facility has many secret or hidden
entrances, and an underground subway system with an electric train on
rails that ran through a tunnel approximately 100 to 165 feet below the
surface.

On the surface, there were numerous military fortifications and
bunkers crammed with weaponry, connected by secret passages to a
sprawling labyrinth of tunnels below ground, said to be 30 miles or more
in length.

Stonehill reports that Adolf Hitler is alleged to have visited the
Regenwurmlager in 1937, riding in on the underground subway train. [7]

It happens that the Regenwurmlager complex of military bunkers and
underground tunnels and subway trains was located in territory that was
overrun by Soviet troops in the closing stages of World War II, so the
American military may never have examined the facility.

However, I consider it very likely that Xaver Dorsch would have had
personal knowledge of this facility, and it is quite likely that he
extensively briefed his American captors on the large Regenwurmlager
system of underground tunnels and bunkers.

This book cannot provide an exhaustive treatment of Nazi underground
facilities, but the examples provided suffice to demonstrate that 65 to
75 years ago, Nazi engineers already had a sophisticated capability to
construct elaborate, large facilities underground.

The American military understood this clearly at war's end, and
urgently wanted to bring Nazi experts to the USA to build underground
facilities here also.

By the time you finish this book, you should understand that this mission was accomplished.

While we still do not know the full scope of what the Nazis did
underground decades ago, we also still do not know the full extent of
what the American military, and other agencies and corporations, have
built underground right here in the USA, and elsewhere in the world.

What can be said with certainty is that an extensive program of
secret underground construction began in earnest in the years following
WW II and that program continues in effect to this day.

(In part 2 of this exclusive series we will be discussing
known locations of underground bases as well as areas believed to house
the bigger, more secretive ones. At the conclusion of this 5 part series
we will be conducting a major roundtable discussion on the the topic.
